Alpha’s Virgin Stripper

JOJO;

The realization of how lonely and out of place I was finally dawned on me when Alpha Lake disappeared from sight. Every single person in this room seemed to know, or be fairly acquainted with every other person, except me. Of course, I was sure I was several leagues below theirs. I wished I would turn and find Ashley. She later told me she would be attending an exquisite event with a VIP, I believed it would be this one since it was so important, Alpha Lake of all people attended. Especially as the man did not seem to be very excited to be there

My keen eyes caught sight of a lady in a violet satin dress. Strapless sleeves and a very high slit at her left leg, she stood in matching stiletto heels and had her blonde hair styled in a neat French plait at the back of her hand. Her right hand was locked in the left hand of a smiling gentleman. I recognized her immediately. She was the woman who had visited the restaurant with Alpha Lake. The one who had generously spilled her hundred-dollar salad dressing on me. And she was walking towards me!

Oh, my goddess! I feared she would find me and make another scene. If she ruined this dress, I would not be able to pay for it. I quickly looked around, but I found nowhere to hide. I held my heart in my chest as she walked past me, her blue eyes met with mine and my heart skipped three beats. However, she turned away and continued in her laughter, as though she had not seen me. I allowed myself to relax. She did not recognize me, but that was expected. I mean, I did not even recognize myself!All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

I suddenly felt the gnawing presence of someone behind me and I turned sharply. My eyes rested on black heels and red polished toenails before they moved up to a red sequin dress and finally landed on her face. I had seen her today, tonight even. She was the lady behind the Alpha when he picked me up. I remembered seeing Beta Kenji hold her and take her away, while she shivered against his hold. I wondered who she was, and why she was staring daggers at me, as though I had stolen something away from her. Her gaze made me oddly uncomfortable, so, I flashed her a smile and walked past her.

The sound of my stomach growling in hunger was loud. I pressed my palm against my stomach and looked around. I had to throw something into it before it embarrassed me. A uniformed waitress walked past me, a tray of glasses in her hands. I swept two glasses off the tray and gulped them down immediately. I didn’t mind the sweet-sour taste of the golden-colored drink. The waitress stared at me with shocked eyes, but I ignored her stare and took a third glass, just to calm my nerves. Before she walked away from me, I stole the fourth glass and held it in my right hand.

I could feel eyes peering all over my skin, clawing at my silk hair. One swift glance around the room was all it took for me to find an exit into the wide balcony. I clutched my drink in my hand, I was starting to feel drowsy and sleepy. My limbs were becoming weak and it seemed like I had to fight to keep my eyes open. I staggered to the balcony and gripped the railing with my free hand, just to steady my stance.

The wind of the night whipped through the trees around, creaking and gnawing like an old rocking chair. It blew past my face and caused me to shiver slightly, still clutching my drink in my hand. Suddenly, I heard a deep voice clear his throat behind me.

I turned, but not a sharp one. I could no longer bring myself to do anything without much effort. When I stepped in, the balcony was crowded, but now, it was just the strange handsome man and me. I could not tell if I had seen him before, I could barely see anything.

I wanted to head back inside. I remembered the Alpha’s instruction, asking me to stay at a place. I had only taken one step when he cornered me.

“Red, right?”

He called me by my stage name. He must have been a customer at the club. I stopped in my tracks, not that I could move with the way he planted himself in front of me.

A faint hiccup escaped my throat. His blue eyes stared down at me.

“You know, I always wondered what it was that was so special about you. Red, the stripper. To think that I was refused a dance, as a VVIP, without a reasonable reason. There had to be a ring around it, right? I mean, it is my first ever request, and I am refused. Come on, think about it.”

I stared back at him with dazed eyes. I could not really make sense of what he was saying, but I did remember the night Bentley had stopped me from attending a VVIP.

But, that did not stop me from wanting to run from his presence. His aura was accompanied by an even worse cold, and the way he looked at me, as though he wanted to tear my clothes off, didn’t make me feel any better.

I subconsciously wrapped my arms around my body.

“Although…” He closed the distance between us now. I found myself stepping backward, but I was more than aware of the railing and the twenty feet distance I had from the hard ground beneath me.

His rough hands cupped my right cheek.

“I must say it all made sense when you walked in with the Alpha tonight.” His lips thinned in a wry smile.

“Are you two together? I mean, that would make a lot of sense.”

My eyes opened fully for the first time in ten minutes. I leered at him with wide eyes. I opened my mouth to speak, but my bones still shivered within me. A loud hiccup escaped my throat before I found my voice.

“N… no. Not at all. His date was busy; I was just a plan B.” I blurted out. I could not tell if he believed me, or if my sudden revelation made me even more suspicious.

His eyes darkened on me, and he took a step further. Now, I could breathe in the air he exhaled and he could do the same. His hand dropped from my cheek and cupped my thin waist. I swallowed hard and felt my intestines form a firm knot in my stomach. The hairs on my body stood erect, and not for a good cause. My heart continued to hammer against the muscular walls of my chest, skipping more beats than normal.

He leaned into my right ear.

“You think?” He spread out his palm on my back. His little finger grazed the top of my butt. I shut my eyes, tightening my eyelids. I feared that his hands would explore more delicate areas, and I feared that he would take advantage of me, just like men always tried to, yet, I could barely move an inch.

“You know, from the second I saw your body against that pole, I knew that I wanted you. The guilelessness that emanates from your body, lingers in your eyes, it draws me to you like a curse I cannot get rid of. But…” His fingers began to trace my back. His hot breath fanned the skin of my neck, my hair stood at attention.

“… I do not want to get rid of this curse…”

I swallowed hard. With every word he spoke, the knot in my stomach tightened.

“I want to unravel it, unmask it. I’ve seen how you are on the outside, allow me to explore your insides, Red. I promise you won’t regret it. I’m a gentleman.”

A new lump rose in my throat, I swallowed hard to push it down. Somebody! Anybody! Make him stop!

I could already feel the cold jitters in my marrows, deep in my spine.

“Tell me, Red. What do you think?”

“I think you’ve had enough fun for the night Monterrey, step away from her.”

The thick masculine voice spoke my mind, but the words did not roll off my own tongue.

It did not need to, not when he was behind the man that held me captive.
